Working groups to strengthen engagement with international, Chinese mainland, ASEAN markets and various sectors.
The Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) announced the formation of the HKTDC Belt and Road Committee today. The Committee, comprising leading figures from various sectors, aims to establish Hong Kong’s position as a commercial and information hub for the Belt and Road by promoting and facilitating investment and business opportunities. Through its five working groups targeting different markets and business sectors, the Committee will implement a comprehensive and targeted programme to engage various sectors to participate in Belt and Road development and share in the potential benefits presented by the Initiative.
Five working groups will be set up under the HKTDC Belt and Road Committee with business and professional leaders from relevant sectors acting as convenors. The working groups will enhance the promotion of Hong Kong’s advantages as a commercial and services hub for the Belt and Road to international, Chinese mainland and ASEAN markets, and raise awareness and increase participation of different sectors, including professional services, SMEs, the younger generation, as well as the local and international community at large in the Belt and Road Initiative.
